Aerobatics Experience

Your instructor will perform an extreme aerobatic sequence. It's then time for you to try and perform the same manoeuvres as your instructor coaches you! The plane used is a Pitts Special. This is a lightweight aerobatic biplane designed by Curtis Pitts. It has accumulated many competition wins since its first flight in 1944. The Pitts Special dominated world aerobatic competition in the 1960s and 1970s and, even today, remains a potent competition aircraft in the lower categories.

Your lesson begins with a briefing to describe how an aircraft flies, and the effects of the controls. You then move out to the aircraft and the instructor shows you round the aircraft as he does his walk-round checks. Climb in, strap in, start up and off you go. Be prepared to experience some G as the pilot shows you just how agile these planes can be.
